We're getting married

I’ve always been a planner—with a game plan, a backup, and a backup to the backup. So when I started thinking about proposing to Kaylee just a couple months into dating, I knew I had to play it cool. She’d joke about wanting a ring—“something big and shiny”—and I’d just smile, all while secretly ring shopping and crafting the perfect proposal. The original plan was sweet and sentimental. But then I got impatient to the point I tried proposing at our daughter’s birthday party. Pro tip: sugar-hyped kids and romance don’t mix. Chaos followed. Tantrums ensued. Eventually, I found myself pacing in our kitchen at home, nervously before yelling out, “Babe, can you come here real quick!.” She must’ve knew my plan because before I could get on one knee she was saying yes!. Still, based on principle I got down on my bad knee.. wait! I meant I got down on one knee and asked “Kaylee will you marry me?”. To which her overwhelming tear filled response was of course yes! The ring was big (enough), shiny, and just a touch bougie—exactly what she wanted. Mission accomplished! Not the plan I imagined—but the perfect moment for us 🫶🏽
